| |
I have been monitoring this list for quite a while now and I remember a discussion of the problem with TCP over PPP being slow between Linux and Solaris.
I remember someone mentioned that Solaris was retransmitting packets too quickly or something causing >50% of bandwidth to be used up by duplicate packets. I got the impression that Solaris was to blame. Is this correct? In any case, I do not remember anyone ever mentioning a fix / trick / work around to get the throughput back up to what it should be.
This subject appears from time to time on comp.os.linux.networking, but I am still in the dark, and out of pocket with my ISP :-(
Could someone please enlighten me?
- Dave
